COMBINED COOKING-RANGE-AND GAS-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION 'forrning part of Letters Patent No.` 514,919, dated February 20, 17894. Application filed July 6, 1892. Serial No. 439,103. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, REUBEN R. FINCH and THOMAS J. HoDGKINs, of Peekskill, Westchester county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Combined Cooking- Range and Gas-Stove, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to the combination with a cooking range, that is provided with a boiler-hole top, and a warming shelf above the latter; of a gas stove that is connected tothe range body, or side brackets that support the .warming shelf by means of link-bars; with said gas-stove adapted to rest on the boilerhole top of the range when the latter is not in use, and be used in' place of the latter, or be swung up beneath the warming shelf to heat vessels thereon in connection with the use of the range, when the amount of required work is more than can be accomplished by the latter.

Accompanying this specification to form a part of it there are four plates of drawings containing eleven figures illustrating our invention with the same designation of parts by letter reference used in all of them.

Of these illustrations Figure l is a front elevation of a portion of the body-part of a cooking range having a top Warming shelf supported on side brackets, and with our invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of one of the brackets that support the warming shelf taken on its interior face with the boiler-hole top of the range-part of the warming shelf, and the rear bracket illustrated in section, taken on the line oct, x4, of Fig. 4, and with the gas-stove shown as down and resting upon the boiler-hole top of the range proper. Fig. 3 shows the same parts that are illustrated at Fig. 2, but with the gas stove shown as raised and in position to heat vessels inserted in the boiler-holes in the shelf. Fig. 4 illustrates a top view of the range, and the warming shelf with the gas stove shown as swung down and resting on the rangek top proper. Fig. 5 illustrates a top of one of the gas stove kettle supports, and Fig. 6 a section taken on the line oc', of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 shows a top view of one of the gas-stove burners, in which the latter is arranged in the form of a circle, and Fig. 8 shows a section taken on the line m2, m2, of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 shows a kettle-rest made to fit in to the pot holes of thewar'ming shelf with what is its under side when in use facing the view. Fig. l0 is atop view of the kettle rest shown at Fig. 9, and Fig. 1l is a section taken on the line m3, m3, of Fig. 9.

The several parts of the range thu-s illustrated, and the gas stove and its connections with the range, are designated by letter reference, and the function of the several parts is described as follows:

The letter R designates the range body made Vwithfthe boiler-hole top T.

The letter B indicates side brackets, B2 the back brackets,4 and T2 the warming shelf located on top of the brackets, with the bottoms of the latter resting on and connected to the boiler-hole top T. The' letters P designate pot-holes made in the boiler-hole top of the range, and P2 potholes made in the warming shelf adapted to receive kettles or kettle supports, where vessels placed thereon inay be heated by the gas stove as will be more fully detailed hereinafter.

The letter G designates a gas stove which is made with two rectangular-form kettle rests K, which are connected by anintermediate web W. Each of these kettle rests is made with supports R2, that are radially placed around the center opening O, with the area between them open, and the outer ends of these supports connecting with the rectangular sides of the kettle rests.

The letter p4, designates a ring of pipe having gas jets g2, made in its top, and d designates detlectors placed -above said jets to spread out the gas issuing from them while burning. Each of these ringsp4 is connected by a branch pipe p5, with a gas supply pipe p6, and each of theseY rings p4, is placed beneath. one of the openings O, in the kettle rests K, and attached to the latter so as to move with it.

`The letters L, L, designate link-bars, of which there is one at each end of the gas stove. The lower end of each of these linkbars makes a pivotal connection with the end of the gas stove as indicated at Z2, and each of the upper ends of these link-bars at Z3, makes a IOO pivoted connection with theinside of each of the side brackets B.

The letters m', m', designate a recess of a hook-form made in the front edge of each of the side brackets, and J a pin on each end of the gas stove adapted to enter said hook-form recess and in connection withV the link-bars L, L, hold the gas stove in place when swung up from off the range top, and in the position shown at Fig. 3.

The letters H designate the kettle holders adapted to enter the pot-holes P2, made in the Warming shelf of the range. These holders have kettle rests h2, that are upcast to project above the top proper of the warm-ing shelf, so that a vessel set thereon will be far enough away from the top and the gas jets to allow of a free combustion of the gas.

When it is desired to use the combined functions of the range and gas stove, thelatter by means of its link connection with the side brackets B', is raised so as to be beneath the warming closet top T2, with its gas burners beneath the pot-holes made therein, with the parts appearing as shown at Fig. 3.

When it is desired to use the gas stove alone the latter is swung down on its link connection so as to rest on the boiler-hole top T of the range with the parts appearing as shown at Fig. 2. When the-gas stovefis raised into the position shown at Fig. 3, the pins J on each end of thclgas stove will each rest in one of the recesses m', made in the side brackets B2, and by this connection and the relative position of the links L, L, the gas stove will be held in place. As thus made and arranged a gas stove is adapted to be used in connection with the cooking functions of the range or independently of the latter, and this construction as combined permits of the separate or connected use of both; when a large amount of work is to be done, or when a less amount is called for. The latter condition often occurs in hot weather, when the gas stove may be used alone without a fire in the range and the discomfort produced in heating np the house by the use of the range fire is avoided.

Having thus described oury invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination with a cooking range having a boiler hole top, side-brackets and a top shelf supported on the latter, of a gas stove constructed with links that pivotally connect each of the ends of the gas stove i with one of said brackets and whereby said gas stove may be swung up to heat vessels placed in said top shelf, or rest on said boilerhole top lwhen not so raised, substantially in the manner as and for the purposes set forth.

2. `The combination with the range top T', of the side brackets B2, B2, each made with the recess m', the shelf T2, supported on said brackets and made with pot-holes P2, the gasstove G, made with the end journal pins J, J, and the links L, L, each pivotally connecting with one of said brackets and the adjacent end of the gas stove, whereby said gas stove may be swung up beneath said shelf, to heat vessels therein, and held in place by said recesses, or swung down to rest on said range l.top proper, substantially in the manner as and for the purposes set forth. l p

3. The combination with the shelf T2, supported on end brackets and made with pot holes P2, of the kettle holders H, made with the upwardly projected kettle rests h2, and

the gas stove G, connected at each of'its ends by a link with one of the end brackets, whereby said gas stove may be swung up into a position beneath said shelf to heat vessels placed in saidrkettle holders,.or swung down therefrom substantially in the manner as and for the purposes set forth.V

4. The combination with the gas stove G, made with end pins J, J, of the brackets B2, B2, made with recesses m', fm', the warming shelf T2, made with pot-holes P2, and the links L, L, pivotally connectingsaid gas stove with said brackets, constructed and arranged to be operated substantially in the manner as and for the purposes set forth.

5. The combination with the-range top T', of the side brackets B2, B2, each made with lthe recess m; of the warming shelf`T2, made with pot-holes P2, kettle holders H; and the gas stove G, made withthe end pins J ,J and the links L, L, pivotally connecting said gas stove with said brackets, substantially in the manner as and for the purposes set forth.

Signed at Peekskill,New York, this 4th day of May, 1892, and in the presence of the two witnesses whose names are hereto written.
